So far we have been hearing a lot about them, but apart from Starbucks introducing their own mobile solution, there have been very little in terms of actual developments.Most recently it has also emerged that merchants are quite negative about the publicity surrounding mobile payments. They say that they have seen very little in terms of details such as security or any technical aspects surrounding payment processing. It is safe to say that at the moment the pessimists seem to be more accurate in their predictions than the optimists.
